US EditionLGBTQ+ Young People Lose a Crisis Lifeline. What Now?
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 15 – Los Angeles County aims to sustain LGBTQ+ suicide prevention services after federal cuts ended the specialized 988 lifeline option that served over 1.3 million youth, officials said.
- On July 17, 2025, the specialized branch of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline was shut down, ending dedicated LGBTQ+ youth crisis support.
- Having run out of congressionally directed funds, the Trump administration announced last month that continued funding threatened to endanger the entire 988 Lifeline, SAMHSA said.
- Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors pledged to maintain services, while The Trevor Project and celebrities like Paris Hilton vowed ongoing advocacy.
- Ahead of the shutdown, a Trevor Project member reported a 20% surge in calls and messages, indicating increased demand for LGBTQ+ crisis support.
- Governor Gavin Newsom and CalHHS will partner with The Trevor Project to enhance 988 counselors’ LGBTQ+ competency, and CYBHI has funded over a dozen community organizations to expand LGBTQ youth services.
